Welcome to the Big Island Exhibit!
ITʻS A HONU WORLD™
Introducing Gina McGuire!
“My name is Gina McGuire and I am twelve years old. I have lived on top of the Big Island for my whole life … you name it, I will give a good whack at it. I would like to enter “It’s a Honu World™” because I believe it is an excellent way to give back to the community.” Read more about this enchanting young artist here.
